Congrats, Rachelle! And thank you to everyone that entered and retweeted about the giveaway!

It’s time for a giveaway! Michele from Life, Lightly Salted has started a bath and body company called Funky Chunks. She has some very cool soaps and equally cool packaging! Add to that that she’s very creative and a sweetheart, and you’ve got a winning combination. You can also check out her soap blog called Funky Chunks for news and new items. We have a winner! Rachelle, from Mommy, I'm Hungry has won the basket.

Anyway, Michele contacted me last week to see if I’d like to host a giveaway for her. Um, hell, yes! So she immediately got some samples in the mail for me to check out. Not only are they in cool packages, but they look, smell and feel great! My favorite has to be the Hot Chocolate Sugar Scrub, and the Pucker! The Pucker! is an herbal dill blend that smells so fresh and clean. But the Tuscan Summer smells great, too. Really, they all do!

So what do you get? A basket with a $30 retail value, including, from Funky Chunks:

1) Visit Funky Chunks and have a look around. Come back and tell me which soap you’d most love to try. Leave it in a comment here for one entry.

2) Visit Things That Make Sense. Take a look around, pick a candle scent that you love, and leave another comment here letting me know which one it is--for a second entry.

3) Tweet about this giveaway, come back here, and leave your Tweet link in your comment--for a third entry.

4) You can Tweet about this giveaway as much as you like, for additional entries. Just leave your Tweet links in your comments, please! (When you Tweet, click under your message where it says, for example, One Minute Ago, and it will take you to a page where you can copy your Tweet’s link.)

5) DON'T forget to leave a valid email address!

This gives you a ton of chances to win the gift basket!

Open to US entrants only on this one. Winner will be chosen next Friday. But in the meantime, get your butts over to Michele and Janine’s sites and make your wish lists!

Guys, you should enter, too! If you win, share the basket to your favorite girl!

Went to Things that make Scents....The idea that I can get that glorious clothesline scent in a candle to smell all the time is so exciting.Nothing smells better than clothes right off the clothesline!smvalvo at gmail dot com

Love the lavendar cucumber soap! Relaxing. I make soap too, it's so much fun and a great creative outlet. In fact, when I moved overseas, the customs agent questioned me about my huge white block of coconut oil soap base, thinking it something of the illegal substance, I'm sure.

So many interesting scent combinations at Funky Chunks ~I'd most like to try the Greetings from Asbury Park (hey, I'm a Bruce fan!), or the Nice Hot Cuppa.

Things that make Scents has so many interesting scent mixes. Like Cool Basil Citrus and Summer at the Shore would be great for this time of year. Thanks for the chance for a giveaway!colknits at gmail dot com
